5G Technology World

by Russ Garcia, CEO, Menlo Micro As wireless networks evolve from 5G Advanced toward 6G, RF switching is emerging as a critical system bottleneck. Modern MEMS technology offers a step-change in linearity, power handling, and efficiency that redefines next-generation RF front-end design. The realization of technologies and capabilities we all see and take for granted […]

We have looked at the “tunnel radio” problem and one solution using one (or likely several) fixed-location distributed antennas. This part looks at an attentive, informally called the “leaky cable” or “leaky feeder” solution. Q: What is the formal name for this approach?A: Technically, it is known as a radiating coaxial-cable system. It is a […]

New and old technologies provide critical tunnel wireless links. Providing and maintaining wireless, mobile connectivity within underground tunnel-like environments (often described as “tunnel radio”), as well as to the surface, is a challenge for many reasons. Although these are closed and defined spaces and shielded from “outside” signals, they are subject to numerous elect...

Silicon Labs has released the BG2B, a Bluetooth 6 SoC built for battery-powered IoT devices needing secure ranging, low power draw, and fewer external components. It’s the company’s lowest-power Bluetooth LE part to date, with a dual-output DC-DC architecture and multi-core design. Compared to the company’s previous lowest-power Bluetooth LE SoC, BG2B cuts MCU active […]
